    each piece of paper is a page, since they do the front of one and the back of another at the same time, it’s one page total…

      One Sheet, Two Pages A sheet of paper has two sides. Each side is considered one page. So a single sheet of unfolded paper is two pages.

      Is that why each sheet of paper has the same page number on both sides in books? Oh wait they don’t.
